For the price of one of them you may as well buy a compressor, impact wrench and ratchet to use instead!

As above, because you're just using it for storage you don't really need a RAID array - if it went down you would buy a new drive and restore a backup - nothing time-critical in photos/videos (for the most part). In which case I'd do both of the suggestions above - get a cloud backup set up...

I found it a bit easier winding the boost right up to 6 bar - it's so spikey that I found it easier to manage than trying to push harder with lower boost levels. It's also worth upping the gear ratios and making 2nd/3rd/4th quite a bit longer.

Great choices, my absolute favourite track! I'll give this a go tonight. :D

Considering theirs are about $50k, that's a touch over budget! Gotta be honest, I'd be getting some local fabricator to build one for me rather than trying to buy - the Vesaro one above is little more than some posh bent tube with a bucket seat mounted, yet it's $12500! Things like triple VESA...

Not a bad shout! I'm clearly missing something at LM in car setup or "creative" lines, as the fastest sectors are all 5-10s quicker than me...

Definitely! Don't want that whacking you in the head in a bad accident... Looks bloody awesome though, love it. :D

Doom for some great blaster action, new Crash N.Sanity for retro thrills with shiny new graphics. Wipeout is supposed to be good but not played it yet. Last of Us was incredible on PS3, gonna get it on PS4 as well. PCARs and DIRT Rally/DIRT 4 all worth getting as well if you like racing games. :)

I've found that for pretty much all racing games on a public server - even those that try to race properly (i.e. realistically) you will always get that one person who either smashes into everyone else or just cuts every corner to win dirty.

Pretty rare - most outside air temp readings aren't fed into the fuel injection system, that'll use an inlet air temp sensor (as it's often much hotter under the bonnet), and you need accurate temps to help with the calculations. In this case it either sounds like the camshaft sensor or fuel...

Looks good for a proper track car running wider wheels/spacers etc, you'd look a bit of a plum with it on a normal car.

This is a common misunderstanding... The bolts don't have to carry the wheel loads - the friction from the mounting face of the wheel to the hub is where the strength is coming from, the bolts just supply the clamping force to make it work. This is why spreading copper-slip all over alloy wheel...

Just to dig this thread up, as it popped up in a search, I've fitted a set of the ECP Pagid cables to my car last night and they do fit correctly, despite the lengths being a bit shorter on paper. It'd be impossible if you weren't fitting them as a pair though, as once they've stretched it'd be...

I have a 3/8" Bahco as well as that 1/4", both are fantastic for the money.

It's not really, it's a re-brand job, not sure who actually makes them though! I have one of their top boxes in orange and it's really decent for the money. Much better than the Halfords non-pro/other crap at that level. In fact it feels exactly as good as the Halfords Pro range...
